**Jailbreaking an iPhone to Run Android: A Step-by-Step Guide**

If you're feeling adventurous and want to explore the world of Android on your iPhone, jailbreaking is the way to go. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of jailbreaking your iPhone 3G or 2G and installing Cydia, a popular app store for iOS devices.

**Installing Cydia and Bootlace**

First things first, make sure you have a stable internet connection and that your iPhone is fully charged. Next, download the Cydia package from the source repository, which can be found by navigating to **Sources > Manage Sources > Edit > Add New Source**. Enter the URL of the source repository, which is `do.noonkoala.com`, and click on **Add Source**. Once the source is added, click on **Edit** next to it, and then select **Bootlace** as the package to install. Click on **Install** and confirm when prompted.

Once the installation process is complete, your iPhone will reboot automatically. This may take a few minutes, so be patient. When your iPhone reboots, you'll see the Bootlace logo appear on the screen. Wait for it to load completely before proceeding.

**Configuring Cydia**

After the Bootlace logo has loaded, click on **I Droid** and then select **Install I Droid** to begin the installation process. This may take around 20 minutes, so don't worry if you see a progress bar that seems to be taking forever.

Once the installation is complete, you'll be prompted to restart your iPhone. Follow the on-screen instructions to restart your device.

**Enabling Android Mode**

After your iPhone has rebooted, you'll see an option to boot into either Android or iOS. To select Android mode, press the **Home** button and wait for your iPhone to boot up. You should now see the Android home screen appear on your iPhone.

**Exploring Android on Your iPhone**

The first thing you'll notice about running Android on your iPhone is how it's a bit different from what you're used to. The interface may feel a bit dated, but it's still recognizable and easy to navigate. You'll also notice that some features are missing, such as the camera app.

To access the home screen, press the **Home** button (also known as the power button) and then tap on an icon to launch an app. To switch between screens, use the **Menu** button (also known as the multi-tasking button) or swipe from the top of the screen with your finger.

**Controls**

To navigate your iPhone's Android interface, you'll need to get familiar with some new controls. The **Home** button is located at the bottom left corner of the screen and serves as both the power button and the home button.

The **Menu** button (also known as the multi-tasking button) is located on the right side of the screen and allows you to switch between open apps or access additional features. To launch an app, simply tap on its icon.

To turn off your iPhone, press both the **Home** button and the **Power** button simultaneously for a few seconds until the "Slide to Power Off" slider appears on the screen.

**Dual Booting**

One of the coolest features of running Android on your iPhone is the ability to dual boot between iOS and Android. This means you can choose which operating system to use each time you restart your device. To access this feature, simply press the **Home** button after powering off your iPhone and select **Android** or **Terminal App** from the menu.

**Tips and Warnings**

Before proceeding with jailbreaking your iPhone, make sure you understand the risks involved. Jailbreaking can potentially brick your device, so it's essential to be cautious when following these steps.

Additionally, some features may not work as expected due to compatibility issues or lack of optimization for iOS devices. Be prepared for potential overheating and battery drain.

If you're unsure about any part of the process, it's always a good idea to seek guidance from online forums or communities dedicated to iPhone jailbreaking.

**Conclusion**

Running Android on your iPhone is an exciting experience that can open up new possibilities for customization and exploration. By following these steps, you can successfully jailbreak your iPhone 3G or 2G and start enjoying the world of Android. Remember to be patient and cautious during the process, as some features may not work as expected due to compatibility issues.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys everything Apple Pro here and I'm bringing to you a very awesome video that's I'm really hoping you guys will like because in this video I'm going to show you how to dual boot Android 2.2.1 which is froo on your iPhone 2g or 3G now it's not compatible with the newer devices yet but it is a pretty awesome Port so um in order to do this there's a couple requirements one of course the 2g or 3G iPhone and you have to be on a firmware newer and 3.1.2 and pretty much 4.1 are older so 3.1.2 3.1.3 4.0 4.0.1 4.0.2 and 4.1 and you have to be jailbroken with either ponage tool red snow or black rain um any other jailbreak it's not supported so of course you will need a Wi-Fi connection and you will need to be jailbroken using one of those three I will put a link for uh the iPhone 3G up here and the iPhone 2g down here if you don't have a jailbreak for it um but once cyia finishes reloading I'll be right back okay so once it's finished reloading we're going to be adding a source so manage sources edit add and we are adding this Source repo do neon koala doco do.uk and it will look like this and you'll put a forward slash at the end so once you've got that just you're going to add the source already already have it and you will just click on in and there's only one package in there it's called bootlace and you will install this so install and confirm and once you've got that it'll of course reboot your device once you're booted back up you should see a boot like this just go ahead and click on it and once it loads um yours won't load right away it'll patch the kernel it will install it and then patch it and it'll take a little bit but mine has already gone through that so I'm skipping straight to the next part um once you're once it's loaded you'll click on iBot open I boot and you will install it so um make sure it's not interrupted you have a good battery while this is installing and go ahead and press continue and it'll take a little bit but I will be right back once it's finished loading it's going to look like this it's going to give you this screen what we are doing next is going to I Droid and we're installing this now and again it'll take a little bit I'll be right back as soon as it's done okay so after about 20 minutes it finished and it gives me this screen now before we continue to the next step I want to let you guys know that if you guys have any second doubts about this um it's something that you guys don't use or you don't need or you don't even like there's always a way to remove it but if you remove it the boot lace in cyia first it can screw up your iPhone so what you will need to do is first you will need to go to ID and press remove here and then after that's removed go to open I boot and remove that and then delete boot lace from cyia so that's just a quick tip on how to remove it so after it's done loading um you should get this screen you'll go to quick boot and click on the Android icon and yes it will reboot it and now it will boot up in Android I'm going show you this is the process um it will take a long time so I will be right back as soon as it's done eventually you will

it's done and after it booted up you have Android on your iPhone and this is the Froyo version and what I'm probably going to do is I'm going to go find someone that uses an Android device and brag to them how my iPhone can run their OS but theirs can't do vice versa but anyways you guys it is a pretty cool feature or thing that you can do with your iPhone um to mess around with a little bit I would not use this as my primary OS because it it heats up a lot it's not optimized for battery and a lot of features are missing so you're you're getting less than you're you're sacrificing more than you're actually getting in return um I found mostly everything does work but the camera doesn't work and it overheats Now controls to go back to the home home menu button is the power button and the menu button is this button right here and this is the phone button and to turn it off you just tap both of them at the same time and then to turn it back on you just press one of them and to I want to
